The long and short of it is. You buy a lanyard and some Disney pins. While in WDW or DL you can ask any CM to trade pins with you. I usually get some pins that I'm not overly fond of to trade with. It's fun and you really can wind up with some awesome pins you might never see. I got one my last trip from a CM that was a limited edition Tink pin.

We buy our Disney Trading pins to use to trade on e bay before we go (much cheaper this way). Then when we get there, we trade for the unique ones we want, or we buy them as souvenirs; just be sure to get locking backs for those that you don't want to trade (or lose accidentally)!!!!

Our kids had a blast on our last trip trading not only with CMs, but other guests. We had some guests give our kids tips on which pins to look for when you are trading with a CM. They immediately asked to do it again on our upcoming trip. Have fun!

My DS is also interested of pin trading, he most liked it than my 2 younger kids. He already started during our last trip and he enjoys it. Now his saving some of his allowance so he can buy more pins.

Have a nice day everyone.
